"There is an insatiable appetite for kid's content in the digital universe across the globe and DHX Media is positioned with our extensive library of evergreen favorites to satisfy that demand," said Michael Hirsh, Executive Chairman, DHX Media. "Millennials changed the way entertainment is consumed and now, parents in this generation, who grew up with 'Inspector Gadget' and 'Super Mario,' can introduce their kids to these family friendly favorites anytime, anywhere, online and on-the-go," he concluded.

DHX Media CEO Michael Donovan commented, "We are the largest independent library of programming for families in the world. These channels represent another way in which the internet is enabling us to monetize our 8,500 half hour library of leading children's programming. Partnering with YouTube on a revenue-sharing basis for these new digital channels is an efficient way to provide children and parents with great entertainment content, when and where they want it," he concluded.

DHX Media's digital channel launch strengthens the company's position as a leading content provider of popular family entertainment on multiple platforms. The DHX Kids channel will feature live action and animated series such as "Horseland;" "Mudpit," which will be first run in the U.S.; "Sabrina," the animated series; and "Sherlock Holmes." The DHX Junior channel will offer content from "The Busy World of Richard Scarry;" "The Doodlebops," and "Madeline." The DHX Retro channel is a platform for nostalgic childhood favorites including "Heathcliff;" "Inspector Gadget;" "Sonic Underground" (Sonic the Hedgehog); and "Super Mario."

DHX Media will add additional content to these channels regularly and will showcase a selection of first-run programming through their digital channels in all territories.
